Butet may partner with Tantowi and they will have a try out at French and Denmark Open....or may be sooner?

is there any plan for Tantowi's current partner, Richi Puspita Dili?
so sad their partnership will ended so fast. IMO they are quite promising, reaching semifinal in their first appearance at India Open 2009, won against first seeded (Yohan/Chou) and just lost again Vita/Flandy. CMIIW.

I think the INA national badminton scene are the most active among all ASEAN countries... Don't know about China/Korea/Japan/Taiwan/India... but lNA's domestic tournaments are very active nowadays... PBSI wants to make sure our youths have a lot of chances to gain match experience in their development years... The new tournament system encourages U-19 players like Rendy-Angga to compete against adults with high level of playing experience...

Yup, so many local tourneys now... And we'll have 10 series of National Circuit next year. (KOMPAS, July 24/09)

At Tegal Open,..all INA WS pratama lost to Djarum girls..
in SF...Ana Rovita beat Rosaria and Febby defeated Fira...again Febby has no match in WS.time for her to compete outside.

Expected....these two players are the most talented of the ones we have. Agree that its time for Febby to be exposed to GP and some GP Gold events. She could win valuable ranking pts for seedings at the WJC.

Partial translation (lazy to do all...hehe)Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto (17 yo) received a cash bonus of Rp15m from PB Djarum and Flypower for winning the Asian Junior Championships 2009 with Angga Pratama. It's not impossible that he and his partner will be among the World's top MD pair and hopefully become a worth successor to Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan.

The head of PB Djarum, FX Supanji also said that as long as he's in the right hands, he will become a World Champion in a young age Rendy decided to stop schooling and will focus on advancing his badminton career.

In addition, some of the ex-Pelatnas players like Haryanto Arbi, Fung Permadi, and Vita Marissa agreed that Rendy has a special talent that could make him become INA's hope in MD. Fung Permadi also claimed that Rendy is flexible enough with whoever he partnering and that is one of the asset to reach the top! -- note: we have seen that with Ryan Agung Saputra in last year's WJC (reach QF) and this year's AJC with Angga Pratama.

Rendy has no specific target this year, but his main priority will definitely be making it to the main team for the upcoming London 2012. Rendy also mentioned that he's in the best form this year and naturally the Olympics Gold will be his main priority!
